ABSTRACT

This chapter offers examples of activities to support the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). It focuses on integrating engineering practices into learning experiences and also addresses differentiating learning experiences when using problem- and project-based activities. The chapter provides prototypical learning experiences that use the Standards for Engineering Practice, including the one that relates to developing innovative and creative students and that support the implementation of the NGSS. NGSS are selected for elementary, middle, and high school across all four science domains. A brief description of the learning experience is provided for both typical and advanced students. Each learning experience includes suggestions for assessments.
